Steps to convert 12/1 to a mixed number

In order to convert our improper fraction 12/1 to a mixed number, we need to follow three basic steps:

1. Find the whole number. First we need to calculate how many times the denominator [1] goes into the numerator [12]. To do this we divide the numerator by the denominator:

12 ÷ 1 = 12

12 = 12 × 1 + 0

(Quotient of 12 and a remainder of 0)

2. Find the New Numerator. Our new numerator is equal to the remainder from previous step [0].

You may also calculate a remainder by using the whole number we calculated in the first step [12] and multiplying it by the original denominator [1]. And then subtract the result from the original numerator [12]:

12 - (12 × 1)

=

12 - 12 = 0

3. Get our mixed number. The remainder is 0, so there is no fractional part: the improper fraction 12/1 is simply the whole number [12]
